serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major
bodily function.

6. "Physician" means a person who is licensed pursuant to title 32,
chapter 13 or 17.

7. "Pregnant" or "pregnancy" means a female reproductive condition of
having a developing unborn child in the body and that begins with

child at the time the abortion is planned to be performed and as
determined with reasonable probability by the attending physician.

9. "Surgical abortion" means the use of a surgical instrument or a
machine to terminate the clinically diagnosable pregnancy of a woman
with knowledge that the termination by those means will cause, with
reasonable likelihood, the death of the unborn child. Surgical abortion
does not include the use of any means to increase the probability of a
live birth, to preserve the life or health of the child after a live
birth, to terminate an ectopic pregnancy or to remove a dead fetus.
